Owen Posted June 18, 2011 #2 Posted June 18, 2011 Looks like it will miss this year. I will be out of town working...
bongobobny Posted June 18, 2011 #3 Posted June 18, 2011 WOW! I haven't participated in that since the '60s!! Of course my ticket expired when I was in ther service and never renewed, found other interests instead... CQ SS de WB2GBO
Scooter Bob Posted June 18, 2011 #4 Posted June 18, 2011 Looks like it will miss this year. I will be out of town working... Probably just as well Owen... That bike of yours is just too low to the ground to ride out into a field to participate. Hey Boss, feel free to move this to the "digs, jabs, and pokes" forum if you must..
FuzzyRSTD Posted June 18, 2011 #5 Posted June 18, 2011 Not a Ham radio operator, but I have radioed for the past 32 yrs. I monitor channel 23 AM side (27.2550) here and this is the locals channel. We primarily radio in the winter months. My handle is Bowhunter. My antenna is around 2000 ft upon the ridge behind my home. I ran a lot of hard line to get there. Just an old Antron antenna around 30 ft in the air. I have a Ranger 2980 base with D104 Silver Eagle mike and sometimes run a little fire on the wire. Sounds like a nice event, hope you find something interesting to radio with. Fuzzy
frankd Posted June 18, 2011 #6 Posted June 18, 2011 I'll spend a few hours out with the club---the call we'll use is K9BAR. I'll be working Saturday, but I'll probably go out for a couple of hours that evening, and then return Sunday morning with a rig with a CW filter, a key and keyer and make some CW contacts. Last year I just brought the key and keyer and none of the rigs there had a CW filter, so that didn't work at all---to much QRM. Frank KA9J
BOO Posted June 18, 2011 #7 Posted June 18, 2011 I use to operate with K9RN's club and they are usually in the top 5 in the country with 3 transmitters. I help with the local Emergency Management here in the county and we operate under K9ESV and they are going to try 3 transmitters this year. Always great fun. BOO
